Maybe it's a product of my environment, but I believe in the chain of command, and did so in the military. I believe there are administrative processes you can go through in the case of the military; there are redresses of grievances and so forth. It took awhile for many of us old sweats to be convinced that the DND ombudsman was required. He is required; he is another thing that helps, another avenue that helps the individual.
In the case of veterans, I think the Veterans Review and Appeal Board, including the advocates assigned to the individual, is a situation or circumstance or procedure—whatever term you want to use—that is in place and shouldn't necessarily be changed. I'm not a lawyer. Some of the people are lawyers, including the boss, and I would think there is some legality in regard to any infringement of their authority. But I'm out of my depth, Ms. Hinton. I just think they should be left alone.
There may be some issues where a questionable decision is made by VRAB and you say, geez, they really blew it on this one, and are we going to have the capability to go forward? It's not going to be independent because there are going to be other organizations that come into play.
